That day Jesus left the house and sat by the sea. And many people will be together and getting on the boat, sat down, and everyone was on the beach. Matthew 13:1-2. Again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and met many people around him, while entering a boat and sat there in the sea, and everyone was on the ground near the sea. And he taught them many things by parables, and told them his doctrine. Mark 4:1-2. A man stood up and saw how Jesus began to walk toward the beach. Unos, dos, three paces behind him, followed him, was interested in knowing that was what that day was going to do his Master. Upon reaching the beach, Jesus sat by the sea, to see and recognize him, many people followed him and was close to him, but specifically at the time that Jesus sat me wonder What she saw was the Master? , "to give their attention, What would be what went through his mind" Were they the sand that passed through his fingers?, would I see the Lord, the sea had created?,. . . What else was Jesus? In another letter that tells this interlude and generates a framework by which Christ Jesus was to give another memorable words in that letter says that Jesus began to teach his doctrine, he started talking about the message of salvation was predestined to people who were there knew him. It would be like that time when Jesus saw people felt sorry for them because she thought they were sheep without a shepherd. But ... When you view and analyze the life of Jesus, we find beautiful, full of peace, fulfilling the purpose for which their Heavenly Father had sent him to the world. The earthly life of Jesus is perfect, so he was the perfect sacrifice to wash away our sins. And I want to focus on the Master's words, specific words, which show us the significance and have even had each of the messages that speak, parables applied today in our lives, visions and ideas that he conceived the Savior. In how many messages could describe verbs Teacher?, Not be achieved by words or conjugations of verbs, which is why at this time, I focus only on two, two verbs that are hearing and seeing. Matthew 13:16. Jesus told his disciples: Blessed are your eyes and your ears, the name is blessed, fortunate, perfect, blessed, because many wanted to hear and not many wanted, wanted, longed for and not seen. . . What, What they saw?, The works of God, What, Did not you hear? ", The words of the Almighty. And even after being called blessed, chosen, were incredulous, they were dull of hearing, were slow to understand, the word of God, the manifestation of the glory of God through Jesus, because in verse 14 is fulfilled the prophecy Isaiah says Matthew 13:14-15: 13:14 So it is fulfilled in them the prophecy of Isaiah, who said: By hearing ye shall hear, and not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive. 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull, and closed his eyes, lest they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them. The people did not know, did not know, not perceived, not seen, nor heard the Lord's message, refused, failed or attempt to know it meant to each of the macaws of Jesus, closed its understanding and would have time their visitation. Because in the parable that precedes the interlude, I let the situation implied that even to this day lives. And the parable is this Matthew 13: 3-8: 13:3 And he spake many things in parables, saying: Behold, a sower went out to sow. 13:4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside and the birds came and devoured them. 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where there was not much soil, and immediately sprang up because they had no deepness of earth: 13:6 But when the sun rose they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 13:7 And some fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked. 13:8 Other seeds fell on good ground and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. And the response itself exposes Jesus himself later and detailed as follows: A bird described the demonic hordes of people close their ears and do not understand the word of God. The road is life, life is Jesus all the saved par, but the people persisted in their stubbornness and hardness of heart allows demonic hordes take over their eyes and their ears. He further noted with stony grief and persecution for the word, spoke about "Christians" or supporters who can attend to hear the word, but fear of the mature commitment, fear of feeling grief (because of Jesus), the frustration of "living alone" and even persecuted because of the word are not enough for that person who will gladly come, listen and saw the power of God, or rather want to be blessed by Jesus' sake, for the Master himself says: "Blessed are those who for my sake shall revile, persecute and curse, because they receive the kingdom of God", but many hear the word and go. He compared that day, the word of revelation from God to a small seed, but also compared the effort, the deceitfulness of riches and the world, with thorns that grow more than the very word of God. The cares of this world: we wear, to eat, when Jesus says, "Be anxious for nothing, look at the birds of heaven they neither sow nor reap, and our Heavenly Father feeds them, and look at the flowers of the field, not work, or spin and even Solomon in all his glory can dress like one, Matthew 6:25-34, then what is not worth more than the birds of the air and flowers of the earth?, then where is our desire?, Today is our greatest desire, we left our ears open to deception of the enemy, because when the deceiver is flatter our ears and tells us we will eat tomorrow! or we're going to wear! The deceitfulness of riches: greed, worry, and the false sense of security are things that the lure of wealth provokes in the human heart, because when the hardship is our anguish is even more grain than our desire to receive a blessing of God, the riches that causes concern, concern for the material, because this word is not just for the wealthy, and those with many assets and properties, but for everyone, even those that sustain us in God's hand "is that if I sacrifice, I'm going to run out of money," "is that if I collaborate in the toilet lose valuable time that you could take to generate other income," everything in life is vanity and vexation of spirit, for cultivating God's gifts, we get a more glorious than the wealth that can be described in this land, it is best to seek the best gifts that the fallacies of life "because it has given more, but do not have, even what he was little he has taken away. " And also, every man to whom God gives wealth and possessions, and also gives power to like them, and take your hand and enjoy their work, is a gift from God. Because not much remember the days of his life, for God filled her heart with joy. God fills all, God supplies every need, and give more abundantly to all who listen, and obey Him, because they come and see the work of God in this life, for the glory of his name. But the thorns are still large and choke the word and make it unsuccessful, the world and its pleasures screens fill our lives that hinder our vision and our blessing, because we do not even holding it in front to take us, and once again our seed dies of obstacles the world. But there is another seed that hears and understands and gives and is abundant for the glory of God and those who hear the word of God will be blessed, because the message to the people who possess the good land that is the heart and mind. For Jesus not only saw the sand, not only the sea, nor was only two hundred people, five hundred, or thousand people who came to hear the same word in the XXI century, and saw those held captive by the enemy hearts, minds filled with things of earthly life, spiritual life before, people who prefer and are concerned about the material and labor, the world, pray before the possessor of all riches and glory. For on this day God speaks to his people and tells a man that is raised in bushes: "lift up your eyes and look and looked and saw four horses are chestnuts that were sent to patrol the earth, and went to the four winds and they spoke to the angel of the Lord and said, We have walked the earth, and behold the whole earth is at rest. And the angel of the LORD I cry Lord of hosts, how long have no mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which thou hast been angry these seventy years? But the Lord spoke to me saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts "celé with great zeal to Jerusalem and Zion, but I am very angry with the nations that are careless, because when I was a little angry, they were used to aggravate his malady. Therefore thus saith the Lord: I go back to Jerusalem with mercy, it will be built in my house, saith the LORD of hosts, and the line shall be stretched over Jerusalem. Zechariah 1:10-16. And the prophecy says that has ears to hear, what God says to his people, because all those who have understood the message are those whom God has given his gift and filled with happiness, joy and jubilation. For he understood, you know, that the building of the glory of God is very near, but today God tells us that even just putting a brick, a small foundation, because if we are an instrument in God's hands will be capable enough to fulfill the word of God. Because if you've heard God on this night know that God wants to make you an instrument of power, sanctified and dedicated to his glory. Because the people of God still overflow of abundance and go sowing and weeping those bearing the precious seed, but even then return with their sheaves overflowing joy and share the joy of Jesus when he raises his eyes to heaven and declare I praise you Father , Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to children. Yes, Father, for such was your pleasure. today we saw and understood that there are four types of terrain, one is hard, the other is shallow, has too many concerns and other thorny, but others, whom Jesus drew their hearts are open and receptive mind to bubble in the good word. . . What are you?, "Is engraved the word of God in your life? Only you know, but today Jesus says: Blessed are those who heard their ears and their eyes because they see much wanted and did not see, because many wanted and could not. To you is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven ahead of others. Today, you are blessed, for God's glory. AMEN. |
